Tracy Gilmore

After my first contact with a computer in the 1980's, I taught myself to program in BASIC and Z80 assembler. I went on to study Computer Science and have enjoyed a long career in Software Engineering.

JavaScript

Simulation of the concept behind Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data (SIMD) technique

JavaScript

I have an in depth and current understanding of web technologies. I have been writing Typescript for the last four years in conjunction with the Aurelia JS framework to develop a global application.

I have an active interest in web technologies but over the last few years, I have been learning the language Rust. This was largely the result of my interest in Web Assembly and compiled languages.

Currently preparing a number of articles to collate my thoughts on topics such as Unit Testing, OOP/FP, the deskilling of the profession and introducing Computer Science to inquisitive developers.

Please provide constructive feedback on any of my posts. I am happy to discuss any computer and programming related topics.
